Hi,
we have a VMware infrastructure and have been using loginsight to process and visualize logs. However as we move forward we want to use the functionality of ELK stack to collect, parse and display VMware syslog events in Kibana.

I have installed the ELK stack and can view basic items on kibana.
We are not using logstash-forwarder or filebeats .

At the moment I am looking at the task of how to configure input/filter/output file in such a way as we can get a valuable kibana dashboard for VMware/ESXi outputs.

Has anyone done this already, can these scripts or procedures be shared. ?

We have alarms such as the below text comeing into this server over port 514 from ESXi hosts:-

"*** CRITICAL *** Storage: All Paths Down (APD)":

And we want to build a dashboard based on the syslog messages comeing into this server from the VMware ESXi hosts
Unfortunately at the moment we get no outputs, even from the last line of the output section
